I am a molecular biologist focused on how perturbation manifests in natural systems, working across multiple scales—from molecules to ecosystems. 
Upcoming: Rokos and Menno Research Fellow Queens College, Cambridge University 

I am currently a postdoctoral associate with Andrew Miranker in the Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics at Yale where I am investigate host-microbiome communication. I was an NSF postdoctoral fellow in Vanessa Ezenwa's lab. My main collaboration in the Ezenwa Lab was understanding how behavior and pathogen interacts to drive microbiome variation in ungulates.  I completed a Ph.D. with Tyler Kartzinel at Brown University where I studied host-microbiome interactions across multiple species of rodents and ungulates. 

 My research provides a broad-scale view of microbiome dynamics, revealing how holobionts are shaped by ecological and evolutionary and biochemical forces.
